Our Bob Dylan competition has just got a little sweeter!

In addition to our original prize - your chance to review Dylan's Thomond Park gig for Hot Press - we've now added a whopping 45 albums from the singer's back catalogue to the first prize winnings!

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 28 May 2010

As we countdown to Bob Dylan's hugely anticipated Thomond Park appearance on July 4, in conjunction with Sony Music, we've decided to add to the already fabulous prize we've offered in our Bob Dylan competition.

As well as the chance to be one of ten winners who will review the gig for Hot Press, the ultimate winner will also get their mitts on not 10, not 20, but a whopping 45 Dylan albums, including all of the compilations and the Bootleg Series!! (see below for full list) For the record, ahem, the list includes all but three of the albums Bob has ever released (and we don't have those only because they are completely unavailable)...

In addition, 20 runners-up will receive copies of the 2007 3-CD Best of Bob Dylan.

Semi-officially, Modern Times is being touted as the third in a trilogy that began with 1997’s Time Out Of Mind and the follow up Love and Theft. Recorded with his current touring band and produced by Dylan himself, it treads very similar territory sonically with that raw, live feel and no-nonsense, almost 1950’s production that made his last two albums so compelling.
